Shutdown puts AGs’ emoluments suit on hold

Yesterday the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals suspended the briefing scheduleindefinitelyin the D.C. and Maryland attorneys general’s emoluments lawsuit against President Trump. The president’s Department of Justice attorneys had requested a stay earlier in the day as the federal government shutdown prevents them from working except in emergency cases.

Oral augments on the appeal had been scheduled for March 19–21, with Trump’s attorneys’ brief due on Jan. 22.

Interior Secretary contender pushed for redeveloping Old Post Office

Outgoing Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA) is a contender to be President Trump’s nominee to be the next U.S. Secretary of the Interior, according to CBS13 in Sacramento. As a 2013 press release from Denham’s office announcing his presence at the Trump Hotel D.C.’s unveiling explains, “As the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management in the 112th Congress, Congressman Denham has played an integral role in pushing the federal government to move forward with the redevelopment of the Old Post Office in Washington.”

Individual capacity—On Dec. 14, Trump’s personal attorneys appealed the denial of their motion to dismiss the case, also to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. On Dec. 19, the AGs replied to Trump’s motion for a stay pending that appeal by voluntarily dismissing the claims against Trump in his “individual capacity to allow the claims against President Trump in his official capacity to move forward expeditiously.” (The AGs only brought suit against Trump in his individual capacity after the judge suggested they do so.) Trump’s personal attorneys, on Dec. 21, opposed the motion to dismiss at the district level, saying the appeals court now has jurisdiction and accusing the AGs of “gamesmanship.”
